Jamie Vardy has been informed he will be allowed to celebrate on the Old Trafford pitch if Leicester win the title today - despite being suspended.

The England striker will sit out the game as he serves an extra-one game ban for improper conduct.

Vardy was sent off against West Ham last month and missed the next match against Swansea, but his reaction to his dismissal saw him slapped with a further one-match suspension which he will serve on Sunday afternoon.

The situation evokes memories of the 2012 Champions League final, when John Terry took to the field in his full kit after Chelsea's penalty shoot-out win over Bayern Munich, despite not playing in the match.

John Terry did THIS in 2012 - and was widely mocked for it

He had been sent off in the semi-final second leg against Barcelona for kneeing Alexis Sanchez in the back.

Although it is unclear whether Vardy intends to emulate Terry and put his full kit on for the possible title celebrations, he has been given permission to do so.

An FA source told the Sun : “If he is banned for the game we don’t see any reason why he wouldn’t be allowed on the pitch after the final whistle.”

Vardy's 22 goals this season have been key in Leicester's unlikely march to the brink of Premier League glory.
